Broilers

In 1992, two 12-year-olds from Düsseldorf decided to form a band, their music and looks majorly influenced by idols such as the Sex Pistols, The Clash and Germany’s most successful rock band Die Toten Hosen. Two years later, the band Broilers arose from this original line-up, combining punk rock with sounds from the traditional – of course antiracist – Skinhead and Rude Boy Scene. It is especially the latter movement which united black and white youth cultures in the 60s in Great Britain that has left its mark on the band’s style.

Over the years, the band has released four albums and performed a countless amount of gigs in front of a continuously growing fan base, always true to their strong DIY-mentality. The powerful, catchy compositions of the band along with the unusual lyrics of front man/guitarist Sammy Amara have played an important part in Broilers growing success. With their studio record “Vanitas” (2007) and their first DVD “The Anti Archives”, the band has managed to take the important step from insider to cult act.

Their extensive tours have achieved an excellent reputation due to their intensive and mind-blowing gigs. In fall 2010, Broilers played a sold-out headliner tour in front of 15,000 people. In addition, the band has played all major festivals in the German-speaking sector such as Rock am Ring and the Highfield-Festival.

20 Years of Broilers

“Santa Muerte” was released in June 2011. It tells stories of the band´s life, including experiences as well as up and downs. The band wants the fans to have a good time, to give them power and something to think about. After a great tour with this album the “Santa Muerte Live Tapes” has been released in 2012.

In 2013 the band rocked at many festivals and announced for 2014: “Next year will be thick for all of us. 20 years of Broilers, a new record, a new tour…” And so it came to pass: “Noir” entered the charts at No. 1, the shows were successful as were the two sold-out anniversary concerts in December.
In March 2017, the new album was released (sic!)! The new record celebrated great success, as well as the accompanying tour. The result: ECHO 2017 in the category Rock National. (sic!) was awarded gold in August.

Puro Amor

Fans had to wait four years for the new album. But when the new album “Puro Amor” was released in 2021, it was clear to everyone: it was worth the wait. The 14 songs on the album are about love and letting go. It is about partnership, family, a deep friendship that unites all that has gone before – like the friendship that brought the band together 27 years ago and still holds it together today.
In the meantime, the music of the Broilers is released on their own label “Skull & Palms Recordings”, the last three albums reached gold status, the two most recently released longplayers both managed to jump to #1 in the German charts – and Puro Amor also went straight to #1 and stayed in the charts for a total of 11 weeks. Congratulations!
